    It's my gammy knees that are the bigger problem. :p


    Bought the 'Die Hard' collection and 'It's a Wonderful Life' on DVD in Golden Discs today, so I don't need to be at the mercy of the TV schedules.
    Since I don't have Sky, it's the only way I'll see them!

    A bit of Christmas made it to the Academy Awards:
    Klaus just got an Oscar nomination for Best animated feature !

    I thought it was really beautifully animated and I loved the story too. Another forum regular said their kids didn't think too much of it so maybe it was aimed at bigger kids like ourselves :pac:

    Klaus was brilliant! Could be added to the category of 'watch every Christmas' for me.

    Im jealous of people watching it for the first time, that's how good I think it is. I love animated or childish Christmas movies, I know they are all childish in a way. My OH hates stuff like elf and the snowman however really liked this one.

    Haven't seen it myself either. The Mrs & the kids watched it before christmas & IIRC said they enjoyed it.

    For me it'll have to wait until the build up to Christmas before I watch it though, am done with Christmas music & films etc until later in the year.

    And......

    Mel Gibson has been set to play Santa Claus in Fatman, a dark action comedy that is looking to be a present for buyers at the upcoming Cannes film market. Filming is scheduled to begin early next year in Canada.

    An update on Fatman with Mel Gibson


    "a casting agency based out of Ottawa, seemed to have confirmed the movie's Canadian filming location by announcing their need for extras in the upcoming film. They revealed that they are “prepping for Fatman” and “want to get an early start” on booking elves."

    Hi! I don’t read all the messages and maybe somebody has mentioned already this film. But I like “Joyeux Noel (2005)” a lot. It doesn’t help to feel the Christmas spirit as “Home Alone” or “Die hard” but has its own precious.

    Had never heard of this book, but had a look at the reviews and ended up ordering all 3 Matt haig Christmas books after reading about them. Reckon the kids will love them.

    I love hearing about new movies, I havent seen gangs of London, and did not think the Christmas Chronicles was any great shakes however they still stir excitement. I am still raging at a Very Murray Christmas, possibly the worst Christmasy thing ever produced.

    I love Bill Murray, but have to agree that Christmas 'thing' was garbage.

    We enjoyed the Christmas Chronicles so wouldn't mind seeing a sequel.
